Neymar Jr., the Brazilian superstar, has been making waves in the soccer world ever since his surprising move to the Saudi side Al Hilal. The staggering price tag of $418 million for this deal has left everyone astonished. While Neymar has consistently hit the headlines, he has also caught the attention of a popular American rapper who recently paid tribute to the Brazilian star.

What’s even more intriguing is that this rapper, with a net worth of $45,000,000, is currently undergoing a body transformation reminiscent of NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal. In case you haven’t guessed yet, the rapper in question is none other than Post Malone. And Malone seems to be a big Neymar fan too.
